Looks like the Nork negotiations are still going well.

IE: not AT ALL affected by the tossing of the so-called “Iran deal”.

Russ,

It seems to me as we have withdrawn from the so called Iran deal that positive developments in the Nork negotiations as you call them seem to have picked up. I think this is no accident. It wouldn't surprise me if the Norks held out some hope that they might get a flawed deal like the Iranian deal was/is. Now it would seem those hopes are dashed, if they actually existed.
